David Halliday
Cloth Making Tool (Sepia Toned Still Life of Tools from Tonga)

1997

About the Item

Sepia Toned Silver Gelatin Photograph of Clothing Making Tools from Ancient Tonga 17 x 17 inches, edition of 25 signature on face Tonga was once at the center of a vast trading empire stretching 500,000 square kilometres (193,000 square miles) across the Pacific. Stone tools imported during the last 1,000 years from Fiji, Samoa, and the Society Islands reveal that the maritime empire of Tonga served as a hub through which prehistoric people exchanged products and political ideas. During a visit to Tonga in the late 1990s, David Halliday beholds various ancient tools behind the camera lens, staging them as still lifes against simple linen backdrops in warm, sepia tones. About the Artist: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.

  • Winter Lambs (Framed Black and White Photograph of White Lambs in a Landscape)
    By Jerry Freedner
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Contemporary black and white landscape photograph of white lambs sleeping under a snow capped tree "Winter Lambs", by Jerry Freedner, 2014 12 x 12 inch inkjet print, 16 x 16 inches in black frame with black mat and non-glare glass This modern black and white, still life photograph of white baby lambs peacefully sleeping under a tree was created by Hudson Valley photographer, Jerry Freedner. The resting lambs' white wool coats compliment the frost covered evergreen branches making for a cohesive intimate winter landscape. Artist Statement: Jerry Freedner In the sixties I studied photography at the New School in NYC, and then with Lisette Model. I've enjoyed many workshops and, through the pre-digital age, thousands of hours in my darkroom. As it was then and as it is now, I have an enduring affinity with nature in all of its forms. Within the last ten years my concerns have shifted to the intense fragility of this earth we share. My work is apolitical yet I hope that it might serve as a vehicle to stir a sense stewardship: to conserve the wonder and beauty about us, which is now fraught with unhappy change and threatened loss.
